Fucking hell, qualification snap!
Do you know anyone who did that and has had any sort of career in music?
Everyone I've ever known who actually got anywhere did it through year upon year of making tea for pompous arseholes in recording studios and getting the occassional bit of on the job tuition.

I know someone who has a reasonably successful career in music who did a course like that
Although, I don't think he finished the course.

i don't think a monthly slot at the local Mecca and hand pressing your record counts as a career, friend

In my security work, I've met hundreds of audio engineers.
Hardly any of them has ever obtained any formal qualification. Most got into it by coming in as an assistant to do the shit jobs, then developed from there.

The only chap I am still in contact with from then has his own sound engineering company, and does live PA stuff too
Everyone on the course was a 'bedroom dj' so I would guess they all work in IT now

haha, so fucking true.
We had four guys who didn't fall into that category.
One was a sixty year old rock musician, who always wore a denim patch jacket and a single ear hoop.
The other was a forty year old punk who had never had a job in his life, done way too many drugs over the years and didn't know how to blink.
The other was a classically trained pianist who was hugely interested in the production and recording side of things.
Finally there was a signed drum and bass artist, who was fed up of paying engineers and wanted to learn how to do it himself.

Ours was a real mix proper geeks who probably run their own internet radio stations and fringe of society drop outs who probably still just cane weed and skag
